Chapter 3430: Retreat After the Fight

Xu Qiang's decision was right. When he retreated, he left an eye liner to pay attention to the movements of Freeman and his party.

It would be fine if Freeman gave up the pursuit, but if he chose to follow their whereabouts under the cover of night, then he would not be able to stay in this place and had to leave as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Freeman only rushed to their previous location and found that Xu Qiang had retreated, so he did not choose to continue the pursuit.

Facts have also verified that Xu Qiang did the right thing. If Freeman's deputy and those mercenaries were killed, tonight might not be so easy.

This battle left a stain on Freeman's record. Although no one would tell it, there was already a shadow in Freeman's heart.

At the same time, Xu Qiang and the others are on Freeman's must-kill list. If they meet on the battlefield in the future, Freeman will definitely not let them go.

"Finally I can rest quietly for a while. I'm exhausted all the way. We worked hard for a long time, just for this little money, it's really not worth it."

Bart complained, but as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qiang walked up to Bart and kicked his leg.

"What? Your kid is rich now and has become a rich man. He doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, right?"

Xu Qiang is the captain of this mercenary, and he is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Bart was kicked, and instead of being angry, Bart was grinning.

"No...it's nothing. Captain, please don't accuse me wrongly. I just think it's too dangerous to come to a place like this."

Bart's words expressed the sentiments of everyone. They came to a place like this to fight, and they were selling their lives.

For these bounties, so many people come to places like this and fight to the death, but the money may not be spent with their lives.

Besides, when I stayed at their place and guarded a gold mine, I didn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life. What Bart said made sense.

The way Xu Qiang looked at everyone, everyone was thinking the same thing. They were also human beings, and they would definitely be afraid of death.

Patting the dust off Bart's body, Xu Qiang was the captain of these people and the spiritual pillar of this mercenary group. Everyone was looking at him.

"Like you, I know very well that coming to a place like this requires taking risks. Maybe at some point, someone around me, or myself, won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Xu Qiang was not saying something depressing, but something that might really happen. How many people died on this battlefield, leaving behind only bones.

We are all human beings. How can our mortal body withstand bullets? No one can predict when we will be in danger or when we will die.

"You are afraid and so am I, but we can't help this fight and we have to keep fighting."

They want to say that they can live by guarding a gold mine. The idea is good, but it is not that easy to realize.

"Do you think we got that gold mine by relying on our own strength? Don't forget what Brother Xiao did before. He helped us stabilize our position."

This sentence awakened everyone. What they enjoyed before were all the conditions created by Xiao Yi for them.

After people get used to being comfortable, they will take the initiative to forget some things. I am talking about them now. Xu Qiang needs to give everyone a reminder.

"If Brother Xiao doesn't help us, it won't be long before the gold mine we are guarding will be snatched away by other forces. This gold mine is a treasure, but the prerequisite is that you have the ability to hold it."

There are several groups of forces that have been eyeing the gold mine developed by Xu Qiang and the others, but they were afraid before and were afraid of being beaten by Xiao Yi.

That’s why we dare not think of aggression. People’s hearts will change over time.

Who knows when a powerful force will appear, like a whirlwind and a lingering cloud, and Xu Qiang and the others will be unable to stop it.

"After losing the gold mine, is there still room for you Bart? You still plan to continue being a pirate."

Bart shook his head quickly. He had had enough of this kind of life. Either there was no business, and it would cost a lot to get the business.

Being hunted all day long, like a mouse, hiding here and there every day, is also an adventure, he would rather live his current life.

"No, no, no, I don't hope..."

"Then we have no choice but to keep fighting. Once we enter here, we have no option to retreat."

This is the road of no return, either die here or find a way to survive.

These words made all the team members determined to continue fighting with Xu Qiang to expand the strength of the Lengjian mercenaries.

Xu Qiang himself was tired of this kind of war. In the battle between the two forces, the injured in the end were innocent civilians.

The task he took this time was to protect the Blue Turban Army. He also heard that the Blue Turban Army was the formal establishment here.

Because of their own interests, the Black Turban Army launched a rebellion in this country, causing the current chaotic situation. People are displaced and do not even have a place to stay.

Among the tasks entrusted to Xu Qiang, one of them is very important, which is to help an important figure in the Blue Turban Army return to a city.

Because the two sides have separate forces, they have formed an impenetrable front. Without strong foreign aid, it is almost impossible to cross this battle line.

Xu Qiang took a kettle and handed it to the person in charge of the Blue Turban Army, a middle-aged man in his forties. His most distinctive feature was his thick lips.

"G-drink some water."

The other party was not polite, took the kettle and drank half of it in one go.

Water is a very precious resource for long-distance marches. Everyone was forbearing along the way. If they were slightly thirsty, they would not drink water.

"Thank you!"

The man spoke fluent Chinese and spoke to Xu Qiang in a very standard way, which really surprised Xu Qiang.

"So you can speak Chinese, why didn't I hear you speak before?"

Xu Qiang asked. Before, this man had been silent, marching with Xu Qiang and others, and seemed to be vigilant.

"I have been to China and stayed in China for half a year. I also learned Chinese before, so I am also very proficient in Chinese culture."

"So that's the case. You didn't speak before, probably to keep vigilant against us?"

The man nodded. Now everyone is on the same front, so there is no need to hide anything.

Originally, he was wary of Xu Qiang and had no idea where this mercenary who appeared was from.

After the previous battle, Xu Qiang and others faced the powerful Flame Mercenaries. They had no intention of giving up the mission and still used their full strength to ensure their safety.

The Flame Mercenaries were very powerful on this battlefield. He thought at that time that he would definitely die this time, but he did not expect that Xu Qiang would win in the end.
